I thought they used Adderall to help retain the playbook and study opponents.

But now that I'm thinking about it, that doesn't make much sense for DBs.

So please explain.

I've spoken to four "gym rats" who are very knowledgeable on "supplements." They all expressed to me that Adderall can be a mask. Other very similar stimulants such as Modafinil have been used similalry and are now bannned as well.

Do I have medical documentation of Adderall being used for such? Absolutely not, so take it for what it's worth.

If you're busted for PED's, I'm pretty sure the NFL can't reveal which particular substance you tested positive for. So you can say you tested positive for Adderall when in actuality it was steroids/HGH, and there's no way for anyone to confirm whether that's the truth or not. Adderall isn't as taboo as steroids/HGH are, so the speculation is that players are all just claiming that when they're really roiding.

As for a mask, I'm pretty sure Adderall pushes things through your system quicker. It also suppresses your appetite, so it could affect a player's weight.

I heard former player Ross Tucker talking about this last week. He said guys getting busted for Adderall are morons. He said all you have to do is have a prescription and register with the league prior to starting of use. Simple process.

Which leads you to believe that guys that wouldn't follow such a simple procedure are doing so because they have something to hide.

There's no way that all these guys have suddenly got a craving for Adderall. Why would you come out and say you were roiding when you can say you were on Adderall. Now if any player was using Adderall and had a prescription, like Mike Neal, then the suspensions will be reduced or cancelled. However you can't appeal for using Adderall if the NFL really know you failed for HGH

Pretty sure if you register to use a prescription drug with the league, they run you through even more rigorous testing than they would anyone else. If you genuinely need the meds, hey no problem, right? If you're using them for something else, you may try to get away with it. Something's fishy, and i'm positive these guys aren't using them just for film study.

They use it as a upper. It acts as " speed " if you do not have ADD or ADHD. If you go to college campus it's most likely the most used drug behind booze and weed. Kids take it because it keeps you up so they can study.

Actually, Andre has a well documented learning disorder and this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has followed him since high school. I'd be concerned if he wasn't taking something to help him focus.

So disgusted with this sort of stuff i'd probably be more inclined to throw the book at the team and the organization. For a 5th round pick Sherman should have been content with just playing football and not all the other theatrics he's brought on himself. And this iidiot went to Stanford to boot.

I can say with 100% certainty it is right behind booze and weed. A very large chunk of college kids take it for a variety of reasons, but those with heavy prescriptions can make a lot of money selling the drugs their insurance pays for.

I understand this skepticism.

But I'm just not sure because Adderall really did change my academic life. Without it, I don't know where I'd be. Because of that profound impact, it's absolutely possible that NFL players, like college kids (which honestly most of them practically are), simply suggest it to each other a lot, it works, so now it's the new way to learn the playbook.

Just spoke with a former DIII football player that admitted to regularly using Adderall before games. He said, "I would use it right before pregame workouts. I would amp me up like you wouldn't believe but also gave me a sense of focus. It absolutely enhanced my play."
